Eleventh Judicial District Attorney Linda Stanley to Be Disbarred for Ethical Violations

DA Linda Stanley Disbarred Following Ethical Violations in Barry Morphew Case

Eleventh Judicial District Attorney Linda Stanley will be disbarred following an investigation by Colorado’s disciplinary board, which found multiple ethical violations related to her work. Stanley faced scrutiny for her handling of the high-profile prosecution of Barry Morphew, including inappropriate media comments, poor case supervision, discovery violations, and launching a baseless investigation into the judge overseeing the case.

The 83-page disciplinary order, published yesterday, detailed Stanley’s ethical breaches and concluded, “Taken in totality, these ethical violations warrant Stanley’s disbarment.”
